The tournament will begin with the first quarter-final taking place on Monday 23rd March, and there will be a live-streamed fight every night until the final on Sunday 29th March. The entire ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament will be live-streamed on the World Boxing Super Series Facebook page at 5pm (GMT) every day.

With this ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ tournament, the WBBS hope they can provide a much-needed distraction for people around the world.

It’s pretty cool they’re doing this.

Draw is today.

Let’s see which legends they have.

Some will say why not pool some money together and create a new boxing game.

I think this is a good idea.

Let’s hope no one pulls out due to not being paid.

Which 6 legends should they choose?

I reckon they’ll have Ali, Rocky, Foreman, Lewis, Frazier, Liston, Tyson & Holyfield.

Frazier, Foreman, Marciano, Louis, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis will probably join the roster.

I don’t think Joe Louis is in the EA Sports 'Fight Night Champion' video game. Or is he?

Obviously, Butterbean belongs

Is the Frazier fight over in around 10 seconds?

Butterbean beats them all except Haye, which is probably a draw.

Oh, that's about the particular game roster, I thought about the most popular legends in general.

One of those guys is out of place and it's not Mr. Bean

Anyone remember how f@cking OP Heath Herring was in the Pride game

And Tyson looks more like Conor Benn

Why is Butterbean in this

He was in a lot of the EA boxing games I think, plus he's obviously the best whiteboi HW of all time

Dunno what he’s like on Champion, but Butterbean was a fvcking beast on the old PS1 game. Definitely a dark horse in this tournament.

Haye? Really?

Butterbean is 74 overall, Tyson is 92 big Eric in trouble.

Meh, prime Haye Vs prime Holyfield is an OK fight.
Evander is a smart fighter, he is going straight for Haye's weak point, the toe!

What!!!! No Dave Allen???!??
